DIN 985 M20 Nylon insert lock nut

DIN 985 M20 is a nylon insert lock nut, on a M20 × 1.5 mm metric thread. A full hex nut with a nylon collar that grips the thread and resists vibration loosening. Note that the nylon insert has a temperature limit — above roughly 120 °C it loses its locking effect.
